Jaume Collet-Serra directed “Black Adam,” in which Johnson plays a modern-day anti-hero after nearly 5,000 years of imprisonment.

Elsewhere, Universal’s romantic comedy “Ticket to Paradise” with George Clooney and Julia Roberts came close to bringing in $100 million globally. It’s a huge standard for a literary genre that has been omitted as dead, at least in the theatrical sense. However, Ticket to Paradise, with a healthy dose of star power, is defying odds with $96 million in ticket sales to date. It cost 60 million dollars.
Internationally, the film added $4.7 million from 78 markets over the weekend, taking its tally to $80 million. High-income regions include Australia ($9.8 million), the United Kingdom and Ireland ($9.43 million), and Germany ($9.43 million).
